It also has an optional 6-cell battery, which allegedly will power the solid-state Linux version for 7 hours! I suspect we're going to see a lot more of these kind of devices - I wonder when Apple will enter the fray? Acer and Dell are jumping on the Atom-based sub-notebook bandwagon:

Amitiés :) Joel Hello,

Je ne voulais pas être perfide :-/

La réalité, c’est qu’on va volontiers en vacances en Drôme provencale donc pour moi, c’est la distinction entre “vacances en Drôme” et reste de la France.

Amitiés :)

Nos voisins allemands avaient proposé un autre découpage en 39-45 : "zone libre - zone occupée". Après réflexion, car ta question était perfide, et pour rester dans l'esprit du voyage mais gastronomique cette fois-ci, je te suggère "cuisine à l'huile d'olive - cuisine à l'huile de tournesol". La frontière se situant à peu près au niveau de la Garonne. Il y a bien un bouquin qui a fait date : “Paris et le désert français” mais il ne rejoint pas ton découpage nord/sud.

I was differentiating between the 700 (== 2G Surf) and the 701 (4G and 8G models). I agree that the 70x models are better value, though. Ah, OK.

I don't have the details of the models in mind, but my goal was indeed to get the 4gb version :) I'll see what I can find for cheap... Take care, Joel Hi Smably,

That means you're limited to 512 MB. For $50 more, the 4G Surf gives you double the disk space, upgradeable memory, and a slightly faster processor. Check out the EeeUser wiki if you haven't already; it's pretty good.

My goal was just to give it a quick go to see if it would be realistic or not - and since this could be part of my photography setting, I felt like blogging about it :) I am leaning toward buying EEE 700 for as cheap as possible when the 900 (and a few other competitors) will be out... We'll see. Take care, Joel Hi there,

Very handy on something like a 800x480 resolution. @ John Skillman: Firefox 3 can resize websites to fit the width of the browser window. Very handy on something like a 800×480 resolution.
